about

Contemplating Buddha (Sonic Sanctuary) is the third solo studio album by Melbourne artist Catherine Meeson. It demonstrates her unique sound which crosses many genre/ style boundaries. From ambient electro elements to ethereal wave, neo Psychedelia and progressive folk rock tinged with soundscape and cinematic qualities. The album features 12 tracks written in the 2010-2015 period a combination of songs and instrumental soundscapes augmented by some lyric and narrative elements. Themes include deep space, spirituality, politics, mythology, philosophy, relationships and nostalgia.

As a self produced independent, the quality of the release is commendable for this one women show. Her work is often regarded as atmospheric, cinematic, relaxing, meditative with a beat, otherworldly, psychedelic, progressive, unique and has been featured on Radio Adelaide, 3PBS, 3RRR, 3PBS AND 3CR, 97.9FM and maybe others unknown to the artist.

Contemplating Buddha picks up where Atmospherica left off- travelling once again through the farthest reaches of interstellar space from the Perseus system arriving at Bio Station 8767, and on to The Dark Rift Edge of Eternity. We journey over the waters of the world with Odysseus, encountering the sirens, return to The Motherland via The Rainbow Bridge- (Across the Deep Blue Ocean_- where all things come together in Convergence. Now and Then we Contemplate Buddha and find ourselves on The Outpost where things are Going Down. Sometimes life is a bit confusing, a bit lonely, but as life is a solo journey we come into focus like a Lazer Beam and finish the journey wiser and stronger then before. Not a concept album per say- but a thread through time and space, an experience of a life, a journey begun on Revolution Complete, deepened on Atmospherica, pinnacled on Contemplating Buddha. Expect much more from this artist on the Sonic Sanctuary label
